El Dorado

Swing ride
Minimum height to ride: 48 inches

About El Dorado

A magic carpet style flat ride that sits up to 40 riders in a blue 1950’s style El Dorado convertible car. The car acts as a pendulum, as it rotates riders to a height of 85 feet in the air in two different directions. Similar to Da Vinci's Cradle at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. -- Last edited by James Rao

Nice themeing to a midway classic. Does not go upside down like some pendulum rides but offers a few good dips in your stomach. - Kris Peerman
